    [Highly rated reviewer]

    Gackt and Hyde are famous japanese pop/rock stars and many online reviews tend to talk more about them than the movie or worse slate the movie for having them in it. I am a big fan of both Gackt and Hyde but managed to forget they were in it to get 'in touch' with the characters they played. I suggest any fan does the same. This movie isn't a pure gangster movie as often described, it is a story about friendship during hardships. It's a wonderful movie I really recommend. Great gunplay, humour and very touching.

  • MEGA CHEESE!

    Rated - 1.0 star  
    By a customer from Bristol , 09 Feb 2009
    possibly the cheesiest movie i have ever watched.

    it's pretty confused, a mishmash of lots of different things; gangsters, vampires, romance that isn't very obvious. i wasn't sure what to expect when i first saw it. i'm still not sure what it's meant to be really, ha-ha.

    it's worth seeing for fans of Gackt, and for fans of Hyde. Gackt always looked really good in white, and leather. this movie is no exception.

    Im going to be really biased with this film because I adore Gackt and im rather fond of Hyde too. As I loved every minute of watching one of my favourite singers on the planet act for over an hour and a half ofcourse I was delighted. That aside, I have tried my best to give an impartial review of this motion picture for those who dont know (or care) who the two rock/pop stars are. Firstly dont take it too seriously..just go along for the ride and appreciate it for what it is...a modern story of a vampire and love and friendship. Its quite comical in parts (intentionally) and it has some pretty touching moments. Its pure entertainment and I believe anyone would like this. Its easy on the eye and certainly worth a viewing. It is a Japanese film so dont expect a Hollywood blockbuster, however I think it is all the better for being precisely not that.

  • A Moving Story

    Rated - 5.0 stars  
    By Scott Douglas from Bournemouth, Dorset , 13 Sep 2005
    Set in the not too distant future, Moon Child is a story of two friends who have to deal with life as outsiders in a failing international city. The main characters are played but Gackt Camui (Sho) and Hyde (Kei) both huge stars in Japan. Kei is a vampire and when his old mentor dies he needs to find a new friend to spend eternity with. He meets Sho as a child and they grow up together. There are some fantastic scenes of gun fights, with Gackt jumping around. Also some extremely moving scenes, especially when a character dies or recalls an event in the past. As time goes on, the characters change and move apart, untill it all comes down to the last fight.... Whoever lives takes care of the families. This is a film about overcoming adversity in hard times and about frindship and how it can either make you strong or weak. A must see for any Jpop/Rock fan and anyone how likes action movies or sad films.
